You have ICMP bandwith limiting on in your kernel. These messages indicate that your limit of 100 (ICMP response) packets per second would have been exceeded (it wasnt though...I'm pretty sure your box would have sent the first 100 and stopped). Its usually a sign of someone ping flooding you but can be caused by misconfiguration etc. > Also why is this happening only now since ive installed named ? May be a coincidence. Is named working properly? If named isnt listening on an interface that gets a lot of DNS queries your ICMP response packets may be just indications that nothing is listening on that port.
